Why are contact lens exams not covered as part of my insurances routine eye exam benefit?
The contact lens exam is considered a special, optional exam in addition to your routine eye exam and is important to ensure proper fit of your contact lenses, to evaluate your vision with the contact lenses, and to check the health of your cornea. Depending on your needs, a doctor will provide value-added services, including training and education based on the type of services and materials provided.
